the Rose image appears to the Doctor and starts to drain water from Mickey and Vida. Rose herself is able to stop it though, and tell the Doctor to stop the aliens. The Doctor says that she was able to hijack the apparition. The Doctor realizes that the filaments that Vida has been working with disrupt communication in the hive, and this might be a way to defeat them. He sends Mickey and Vida to find the crates that were on the Ascendant and dump them into the river, while he creates a distraction. At the same time, Rose, Jay, Huntley and the others start making their way toward the surface. Vida and Mickey are almost caught by the water, but Rose and the rest interfere, and then help them to release the filaments. As they are released, Rose thinks of the Doctor, and is able to see him and tell him that they have done it. He says, 'Of course you did it,' and activates the tracers. The water in the Thames thickens and changes, and all the people who had been taken are pushed to the surface, restored to normal. Continuity This book might take place after "Tooth and Claw". The Doctor tells Rose that humans are "big bags of water" and Rose replies by saying "I remember you saying something like that." In "Tooth and Claw", he tells her "You're 70% water and can still drown" (in response to using the moonlight to stop the werewolf). When Rose asks the Doctor if they can try to find out what happened with the Ascendant, he agrees, and she replies "I never knew – my wish really is your command" which echoes a line in "Father's Day", where the Doctor says "Your wish is my command." The Doctor is now able to resonate concrete (several times), even though he seemed to have trouble with it in "The Doctor Dances". The Doctor says "Ace-a-mundo – a word I shall hopefully never use again," which is similar to his line "Correct-a-mundo – a word I have never used before and, hopefully, never will again" in "School Reunion". At the start of chapter fifteen, Kelper says "We're going to need Torchwood," referring to the Torchwood story arc. The Doctor uses his alias 'John Smith'. There are references to the events of the episode "Aliens of London" – specifically, Rose's "disappearance". This book
